What to Do if You Want to Date a Trans Person in Dubai

Dubai is an emirate and city in UAE, and
consequently follows conservative Islam law. Being trans, gay, lesbian, or bi
is against the law here. Trans people cannot be open about who they are. As a
result, many of them go to great lengths to be extra safe. Some even try to
walk like men if they were assigned the male gender at birth.

If that’s the case, are there any trans singles in Dubaiat all? You bet. It’s possible to meet
and date them too. You just need to be discreet about it. Online dating sites
are practically the only option if you want to meet a trans single. After
chatting and getting to know each other a bit, you can meet in person. This
might take a while because they’re very cautious, which is quite
understandable. When you meet, it should be in the privacy of your home.

Many people who are interested in dating a
trans person often wonder how to approach them about sex. Of course, sex
before marriage is illegal in Islamic countries, but the old principle of
“it didn’t happen if nobody found out” applies as always. Basically, you’d
approach the subject just as you would with anyone else. Perhaps that’s not
your forte. You could start by making a nice compliment. Tell them you think
they’re really pretty, attractive, cute, or stunning. If they smile and say
they like you too, that’s always a good sign. Ask them if they want to hook up
or if they are looking for something more long-term. Respect their answer,
whatever it is.

There are a lot of westerners in Dubai,
including many who are trans, so (in private, of course), you’ll find people
are a lot more open than you imagined. Feel free to talk about your sexual
likes and dislikes, boundaries around what can or can’t be touched and issues
of safe
sex.

Is it ever OK to ask people about their relationship
with their genitals? Definitely not right off the bat, and only if they’ve
indicated they want to date. Never assume anything about how a trans person likes
or wants based on their appearance, surgery status, or your previous
experiences with trans people if any.
